BACHELOR OF ARTS.

The degree of Bachelor of Arts of the University of Virginia
is conferred upon the candidate who has completed the work of thirteen
courses in accordance with the regulations given below.

Regulations Concerning the Bachelor of Arts Degree.

(1) Selection and Number of Courses.

Unless admitted to advanced standing (p. 74), the candidate
must select the required thirteen courses as follows:

• (a) A Courses: The candidate must complete the work of English Literature
  1A, Mathematics 1A; and either Latin 1A, or Greek 2A.

• (b) B Courses: The candidate must complete seven B Courses selected from
  the five groups given above (p. 151) as follows: two B courses must be
  selected from Group I, and one of these must be either Latin 2B or
  Greek 3 B; one B Course must be selected from Group II; two from
  Group III; one from group IV, and one from Group V.

• (c) B or C Courses: The candidate must complete the work of three courses
  selected from the electives-at-large in accordance with Section (3), below,
  of these regulations. [See also Section (4)].

First-Year Students receiving no advanced standing should
take English Literature 1A, Mathematics 1A, Latin 1A (or some
other foreign language), and a Natural Science (or Greek 2A, if
both Latin and Greek are selected from Group I).

(2) Time Required for Obtaining the B. A. Degree.

All undergraduates, except first-year students who enter without advanced
standing (Section (1) above), are required to undertake the
work of three courses each session; and of only three, unless otherwise
authorized by the Academic Faculty. Hence, the time normally
required for obtaining the degree of Bachelor of Arts by the
candidate who enters without advanced standing is four years.
(See also Section (4), (b), below.)

The candidate who enters with advanced standing from another
College (p. 74) must devote at least one full session exclusively
to Collegiate work here, and must complete the work of at least
three of the required B Courses in this College (Section (1)).
The programme of studies offered by such candidate must satisfy
all the requirements of the B. A. degree as here established.

(3) Electives-at-large, and Major Group.

Each elective-at-large consists of a B Course, or a C Course of
which the precedent B Course has been completed. After having
selected seven B Courses in accordance with Section (1), (b), of

these regulations, the candidate may offer as an elective-at-large
any B Course, not already selected, contained in the list pp. 157-163;
or any C Course, of which the precedent B Course has been completed,
contained in the list pp. 169-175.

But in every case at least two of the electives-at-large must be selected
from the subjects of some one of the five groups (p. 151); and
this group is to be known as the Candidate's Major Group.

(4) Substitutions Allowed for Electives-at-large.

(a) The candidate who offers both B Latin and B Greek from Group
I (p. 151) is required to offer only two electives-at-large (Section
(1), (c)), these must be selected, however, in accordance with the
requirements, Section (3), regarding the Major Group.

(b) The candidate who has satisfied the requirements of Section (1),
(a) and (b), of these regulations, will be permitted to offer in lieu
of the three electives-at-large, (Section (1), (c)), the work of the
first year in the Department of Law, or of Medicine, or any three
technical courses in the Department of Engineering.

Thus the candidate who desires to obtain both the B. A. degree and
a professional degree may save one year of the time required for
both degrees.
